Cool Your Dog Off With The Cool Pet Pad Self Cooling Mat!

The Dog Days of Summer have certainly been upon us haven't they? We've had SO much hot weather and high humidity in the Northeastern U.S. With a Siberian Husky, I'm especially mindful of her becoming over-heated, particularly when there's high humidity.I've always wanted one of those cooling mats for dogs to help my active Husky stay cool on those hot Summer days. I was delighted to have the opportunity to review the COOL PET PAD Revolutionary Self-Cooling Cushion, from The Green Pet Shop.

I wanted a cooling mat I didn't have to plug in, add water to, freeze, or do anything to make it cool. I wanted to just put the cooling pad on the floor and have it start cooling my pet down right away.

The Cool Pet Pad's cooling get is activated by your pet's weight, which is just perfect! I don't need to do anything myself to activate the cooling gel. I tried the cooling pad out for about a week or so. The cooling effect of the pad lasted for several hours indoors and maybe 2 to 3 hours outdoors in the shade on some fairly hot days, with approx. 65 - 75% humidity.I love the tag line on the Cool Pad, just below The Green Pet Shop's logo. It says; Go Green Or Go Home!

This is what the Cool Pet Pad looks like out of the box. I love The Green Pet Shop's tag line; Go Green Or Go Home!

Note: I was given a complimentary Cool Pet Pad in exchange for an honest review of the product.

I found the Cool Pet Pad to be durable and easy to clean. It fits in a crate and folds up easily for travel, which is really valuable to us since we travel so much, especially in Summer. The enlarged graph from the back of the box shows how much warmer the surface temperature is without using the cool pad vs. when you're using the cool pad. (Note: these results may vary depending on temperature, humidity and your pet)﻿

I'm very pleased with the Cool Pet Pad, and so is Icy! She loves to lay on it both outdoors and indoors. Honestly, the only complaint I have is that I didn't get it earlier in the season so Icy could have enjoyed the coolness all through June and July! You can find the Cool Pet Pad at PetSmart stores and various online retailers, as well as directly from The Green Pet Shop.

Icy loves her new Cool Pet Pad from The Green Pet Shop!

In case you're wondering, I know I was, the Gel inside the cool pad is NON toxic. Of course, you should not allow your pet to ingest the gel. According to The Green Pet Shop it could potentially cause an allergic reaction in some cases. If your pet does ingest the gel, contact your Veterinarian.

OMD!!! I GOTS ONE OF THESE!!!! Yuppers, I loves it! Though, I keeps it out all year long, since it really doesn't get that cold here, and I likes layin' on it. they last a long time too. Ma got me another one after about a year, cause it does start to dry out after being out all year round. And, I likes to chew on it sometimes (shhhhh, don't tells Ma, she always tells me NO! ) butts, it's never torn or ripped or anythings, so they are good quality. Highly recommend these!Kisses,Ruby ♥

Oh how awful! I was so afraid of a power failure and not having A/C during the heat waves in NY this Summer. Our backup plan was to go to the mall if that happened, LOL! This would be perfect for the pets during a power outage.

I bought one last year for Kilo the Pug but he did not use it much - he loves fans, laps and couches. You inspired me to try it again so I just put it next to me on the floor now but it seems to have shrivelled up a bit. Yours looks so cool.

Oh interesting, my dogs both love the cooling mat. I got it for Icy my Husky but little Phoebe is always sneaking onto it, LOL! You can use it yourself for your feet on super hot days, it actually helps!

Same here, we've been indoors so much. It was even too hot inside, the a/c couldn't keep up with the heat & humidity! Icy loved using her cool mat inside, especially on those days. I'm so glad I got it.

This looks great! I'll keep it in mind as I'll be moving to a hotter climate soon and will need to think of ways to keep cool for the first time without the coastal breeze I currently enjoy. ~Rascal and Rocco

Wow, this sounds AMAZING!!! I love that it cools naturally from the dog's weight. Our last dog, Pip, had heart disease and his last few summers we had to be so careful about keeping him cool. He wore a cooling vest when we were outside. The vest worked really well, but sometimes it was a bit clunky on him (he was a Yorkie and the vest didn't fit him perfectly). I would have loved to have this mat for him. Will have to get one for Ruby.

It's such a great thing to have, especially with all the heat we've had this Summer - brutal for a Husky. I love that it works with the dog's weight, I don't have to do a thing. I'm sure it would have been great for Angel Pip.

This cooling mat is a great idea! During these hot months, a little bit of cooling can go a long way. This sounds like it works really well. Your dogs look very happy with it!-Purrs from your friends at www.PlayfulKitty.net

I recently reviewed this product as well and I love it! Mom now just leaves in on the floor all the time so when I need it its available! The other thing my mom loves about this product, she can feel the "cooling" effect so she knows it's working! :)
